If your cabinets need more work that what can be done through refacing them, you may want to look into purchasing some discount kitchen cabinets and completely replacing your existing cabinets. This may be the only option if your existing cabinets have some sort of damage or are just very old and do not function well any longer. Discount kitchen cabinets provide you with an affordable alternative to expensive custom cabinets, but that doesn't mean they are cheap.

The last but not the least thing is that you should know beforehand about what type of items are you going to place within the space such as crockery, utensils, etc. If you consider my opinion, then please go for the cabinets that come with doors so that the things inside of it remain clean and hygienic. According to the importance and frequency of use you need to arrange the items in that order. The antique crockery could be kept in the kitchen cabinet that comes with the glass doors so that people can have a glance over it and appreciate your collection. While if you want a cabinet to store the daily used utensils and other kitchen accessories, then a cabinet design that comes with closed doors should be preferred.

Many altered versions of base cabinets are also available in the market. The most popular ones are the sink base and the corner base. The sink bases are probably the most commonly purchased kitchen cabinets in the world. It usually has a false drawer and an open area where the plumbing work is hidden. A corner base on the other hand is just like any other shelf which is mainly used to store some day-to-day stuff which are commonly used around the kitchen.
